It doesn’t make sense to me that someone living in a different country is allowed to vote in an Adelaide City Council election, but not someone who lives in an outer suburb of the Adelaide metro area.

Voters Mount Gambier and remote farms and Aboriginal communities voting for the ACC when the voters of Adelaide don`t vote for the local governments of those voters.

But Adelaide is different, it is a capital city that many people who don’t live in the city attend ~250 days a year when they go to work.

All South Australians should have a say in how Adelaide is governed, an easy way to do that would be to make the Legislative Council also the Adelaide City Council.

That means at every state election every voter would know that their legislative council vote would also directly impact on the composition of the Adelaide City Council, it would make that vote even more valuable.

Cos it would make it harder for his beloved Greens to get a seat

If the Government’s proposed reforms went through it would make it easier. But, they would face election every 4 years instead of every 8.

I think you could save a fortune if the SA Legislative Council was also the Adelaide City Council.

That ACC=SALC idea is up there in silliness

Why?

If 5% of bus drivers, nurses or school teachers were jailed at that rate, there would be some serious questions asked about the kind of people who went into that profession.

I was (in my last post on the subject) saying that it may not be assured that there is going to be a referendum because the SALC may reject the bill. Could the SA posters please give more information of the likelihood of the non-ALP MLCs voting for or against such a bill?

That ACC=SALC idea is up there in silliness with So`s idea that the Lord Mayor should have a seat in the PoV (Parliament of Victoria). An Adelaide Metropolitan Council (covering the whole of Adelaide) would not be such a bad idea though.
